Pairing watch and phone

I’ve tried everything to pair my SE watch to my IPhone 12. Have IOS 15.2. Still cannot get them to pair. Help!

Has the watch been paired with another iPhone before that?

Any error messages given, if you try to unpair and pair again?

Did you already try to restart the Apple Watch and pair it again?

If the pairing process stalls

If it seems like the Apple Watch pairing process has stalled — for example, the pairing animation remains on the screen for several minutes — resetting the watch might help:

  1. Press and hold the Digital Crown while your Apple Watch is in pairing mode.
  2. Tap Reset when it appears on your watch.
  3. After your watch resets, you can pair again.
